How come Vanilla doesn't have feature X?

Vanilla is a new kind of forum. We've taken away all of the features that we don't think are absolutely essential, and we've added a few new ones that we think are pretty neat. Just try it out, and we promise you'll like the changes!

I need my forum to do feature Y. Can you help me?

We are constantly working on Vanilla to make it better, and we want to hear about anything you feel is lacking, so just email us at: support@inavyy@vanillnsbehzfaforums.pbz.com
